Shrine Circus

A really great day at the Shrine Circus.

Happy Birthday To Me

I had a great evening of family and friends over to celebrate my birthday. Thanks to everyone. Love ya.

Muffins for Moms and Grandmas

Demitrius and Isabella were so excited that Heather and I both were going to be able to participate in the Muffins for Moms and Grandmas this year. Previous years I have not been able to get into the school. Well, with Mother Nature throwing her curves as she has been this year, there was a two hour delay and the special breakfast was post-poned. It was rescheduled for Friday, March 5 and none the less Mommy couldn't make it as she had left for Columbus yesterday. Anyhow, I did make it and I think that Demitrius and Isabella was almost as proud of me as I am of them. I think I met more folks (who's names I do not remember) in that hour then I have in the whole four months of school. They were just introducing everyone to me. It was a great and very blessed opportunity that I would not have missed for anything. Thanks little ones for being so special. I love you tons.

Happy 2nd MaKiya and 13th Kalee

We celebrated the big 2 and 13 for two special girls in our lives. We were fortunate enough that Ashley had been keeping her eyes opened for a Kalahari Special to have the celebrations and sure enough she pulled through. So that is where things happened. We also made mention of Bill's Birthday on March 4 and then Mason turning 7 on March 8. There were special cupcakes for all and each had their own special kind. We had two days of fun and laughter.

Demitrius' first professional wrestling picture. Doesn't he look great.

Happy Birthday Heather

Had a little family get together for Heather's Birthday and it was a bring Heather's favorite dish buffet. It was great with a variety of food and all diets were put on the back burner for the evening. There was enough food for days later but it was still just as good. We had a pretty good turn out there was Clyde, Denise, Devin, Ashley, Scott, Derrin, Makiya, Mojo, Robin, Dominic, Emma, Alayna, Melinda, Madison, Hashbrown, Jodi, Samantha, Allie, Zannon, KyLeigh, Nicole, Kalee, Britenee, Demitrius, Isabella and of course Me. WOW, I hope I didn't forget anyone.

Forget the traditional cake in the face, Nicole waited until Heather had a bowl of ice cream and then smashed it into Heather's face. We laughed until we had tears because it caught her so off guard. It was great.


Heather and Devin definitely looking like sisters. It is amazing how much they look alike with all the changes they both have made in their lives.

Heather showing off her new style with Aunt MoJo. They both are looking great these days. Love ya

Denise and Devin showing some love. She has to take advantage of it while she can cuz unless Devin is in front of the camera this isn't happening often. Only kidding.


Denise and Devin were quite excited to see Poppie and needless to say he wasn't sure who he wanted to go with he just new he was loving all the attention!!

And you know what one of the best parts of the evening was watching how many it took to put together a simple computer chair for Heather. Let's see Clyde, Jodi and Zannon started then Dominic got into it for a couple of things and then you know at the end the kids had a great time sitting on it and spinning in circles. But, I don't think that it was still put together properly, however, it serves her purpose so I guess it will do. Happy Birthday Rae.

Happy Birthday Abby and Gilberto

My goal for 2010 is to try and remember to acknowledge all my loved ones throughout the year. With either a phone call, e-mail or with the younger ones trying to get a special birthday card in the mail to let them know I was thinking about them on their special day. Well, so far so good. And in return I received a really special card of my own. A great big thanks to Charity and family for the special card. Sure did make my day. Love and miss you guys so much.
